[Healeys] interior trim on Speedwell Blue Sprite

[Herbert Miller]

I agree. My car AN522907 is Ires blue with blue interior. I bought this car
in 1964 with the original interior. I have since done a complete restoration
to original condition. The car did indeed have dark blue trim with light
blue piping. Heritage http://www.heritagetrim.com/  can provide this
combination in the original vinyl. You can email me for pictures of the
finished installation.

By the way, over the years the vin for my car was incorrectly transcribed to
the title, as 22901. I ordered my Heritage cert. using that #. When I found
the original # plate it was 22907. I ordered another cert. As a result I
have a Heritage cert. for AN522901 that is looking for a home.

In the upcoming May issue of Austin-Healey Magazine, there will be a full
article on the just-restoredd #53 Sprite which took second in class at
Sebring in 1959. That car was painted Speedwell Blue with an Ivory Jensen's
hardtop. The main trim in that car, copied from the original interior which
was still in the car, looks very similar to the dark blue used in the big
Healeys of the same period. The only difference was that the welting was
light blue, matching the exterior color, rather than the ivory color used on
the big Healeys.
